Plymouth Notch Jul 20, 2015

Mr. Coolidge earned a reputation as a man of integrity and decisive action, who said little, with a good sense of humor. In other words, a typical Vermonter.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”    Calvin Coolidge

    This is one of two prints I purchased last summer while visiting your studio. It was a pleasure to chat with you and see where you live and work. I was born and raised in Rutland, Vermont and moved away in the mid 90’s. Plymouth Union holds a very special place in my heart. I have visited often and photographed it and the surrounding area many times over the years. It’s so nice to be able to catch a video of you creating this wonderful painting.
